Thats whats next on his agenda but the white house said President Biden was walking into this with key questions not just about humanitarian aid, but also what israels goal is here. If they do go into gaza, with that expected Ground Incursion
Coming down the steps as he arrives here in israel. What must be going on in his mind . Greeting Benjamin Netanyahu, israels Prime Minister. They have known each other for decades and President Biden has been coming to this region for 50 years now. The us says over and over again what a close ally israel is and that it will unwaveringly stand by the side of israel, but it has also expressed deep concern about the unfolding and increasing humanitarian crisis in ghana so at the moment.

So, we see the two men there, joe biden, with israels Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

Very much for joining us. Cnn newsroom with jim acosta starts right now. Im jim acosta in washington. Welcome to our viewers here in the United States and around the world to cnns breaking News Coverage of israel at war. It has been one week since hamas launched its attack inside israel that killed more than 1,300 people. Today israel appears to be on the verge of responding with full force. Prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu posted a video online of his visit with troops at the front line near the gaza border. He told them, quote, The Next Stage is coming. A Ground Invasion appears more inevitable by the hour. Israel has called on more than a million civilians to evacuate Northern Gaza for their safety.
